Hi List!
What is the best path to install class and style files to? I am using
several Mac OS X.2 Macs that have different users each, and all should
be able to use all classes and styles. Will they be able to use the
files I install in the ~/Library/texmf folder when I am logged in as an
admin (not root) user?
Do I have to chmod the folders and files in order to be able to use
them? I remember reading about something like that, but cannot remember
where..
I hope this question is not too trivial, but I am really new to all
this terminal voodoo...
Stephan

Assuming you are using G. Wierda's teTeX, then LaTeX style and class
files that should be available to all users on this computer go into
the following directory:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex
make some subdirectory there and copy your files into that
subdirectory (as root or via "sudo"). Then make sure the new files
are readable by anyone and register the new files by the command
"sudo texhash".
Making your ~/Library/texmf folder accessible to anyone is no good
solution because other users would not find them (they would have to
modify their TeX search paths first).

I am not sure but I think that you can put the style files
you wish to share in the
/Library/texmf
folder, i.e., in the not in your Library folder but in the general one
(you find it at the same level of the Application folder).

Encryption has been removed from pdftex...
I think there are solutions (apart from acrobat) see pdftex list archives..=

See http://www.rna.nl/tex.html on finding files and what subdirectories
to use
If you use my distribution of TeXLive/teTeX, install them in
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex. This location is not touched by
me when stuff is updated. You will need administrator access to install
them there (logged in as Administrator will be simplest).
After you have installed files, run "texhash" to updat ethe cached
access listings TeX relies on.
